Nathan Landman Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Falcons LB Nate Landman is active for today's game against the Panthers. He hasn't played since Week 1, landing on IR with quad and calf injuries. He could be in for full playing time today, though, in a defense missing LB Troy Andersen (knee).

The Falcons on Monday designated LB Nate Landman to return from IR. He missed the past four games with a calf injury. Before going down, he split time with LB Troy Andersen in the opener. We'll see how playing time shakes out between them once both are back healthy. Andersen missed Week 5 with a knee injury. Landman's designation opens a three-week window for the team to decide when to fully activate him.

The Falcons have ruled LB Nate Landman out for Monday night's game against the Eagles with quad and calf injuries. The quad has been an issue since late in the preseason and limited his practice time last week. But Landman started the Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh. Landman missed all three practice days this week, so we'll have to see how he looks for Week 3 and beyond.

The Falcons have ruled LB Nate Landman (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Andre Smith looks like the next guy up, but we wouldn't go looking for a down-the-roster Atlanta LB in any format at this point in the fantasy season. Atlanta also ruled out DT David Onyemata (ankle). Onyemata and Landman hold the two best Pro Football Focus run-defense grades among Falcons front-seven players this season. So their absences can only help the matchup for Bucs RB Rachaad White. CB A.J. Terrell (concussion) and CB Jeff Okudah (ankle) are questionable for the game.

Falcons LB Troy Andersen tore a pectoral muscle in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He'll require surgery that will need four to six months of recovery time, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Nate Landman is expected to start in Andersen's place. It's an upside spot for tackles, but Landman doesn't bring anywhere near Andersen's speed or athleticism.

The Falcons have ruled LB Troy Andersen out for Sunday's game against the Packers. That's no surprise, given Andersen entered the concussion protocol Tuesday. We'll see about his status for Week 3. Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports that Nate Landman is expected to start in Andersen's place. There's upside to the role, but Landman is also a second-year, undrafted free agent who has played just 23 total snaps in the NFL. It's tough to know what we can expect from him Sunday.
